Abstract

In the present invention, the extremely complicated setting and control and an extremely expensive optical component (wavelength locker) are not required, and optical output wavelength and optical output power can simply be set and controlled at a moderate price. At least one value for determining a dependence of the optical output wavelength on drive current and device temperature and at least one value for determining a dependence of the optical output power on drive current and device temperature in a light emitting device constituting first means (101) for emitting light are stored in fourth means (104). Fifth means (105) determines drive current or optical output power c1 and device temperature d1, at which both the optical output wavelength and optical output power of the light emitting device are separately specified value b1, from a relationship among the drive current, device temperature, and optical output wavelength of the light emitting device, the relationship being determined by the at least one value, and a relationship among the drive current, device temperature, and optical output power, the relationship being determined by the at least one value, and the fifth means (105) gives the drive current or optical output power c1 and device temperature d1 as target values to second means (102) and third means (103).
